...group of madrigals Schmidt used a reduced chorus of two dozen. An interesting comparison was afforded in two settings, a half century apart, of the same text--one, by Vecchi, lyric and smooth; the other, by Arcadelt, more dramatic. The singers displayed excellent precision in Lo Schernito, one of the bright and rapid fa-la-la pieces that Gastoldi made a specialty. There followed an amusing Impromptu, written last year by the talented young composer Kirke Mechem...

After Count de Vecchi left, the Pope, Cardinal Pacelli and Father Tacchi-Venturi were closeted until late in the afternoon. Later His Holiness said: "We do not know whether a solution can be reached in a short or long time, but it certainly will be reached when the Lord wishes-that is to say, at the moment most suitable for the good of souls...
